Caring therapists and professional staff. Clean location with friendly support. They’re really good at managing scheduling and verifying insurance coverage before treatment. They offer alternative recovery packages that can be purchased out of pocket.

Great place to get fixed up. Alex my therapist listens to my issues and concerns and came up with a plan to get me back on track.

The entire staff at Impact has been so helpful & welcoming! I have had a hip/back issue for the past few years & Beth has been absolutely wonderful at addressing my individual problems and concerns. After the first session I was able to run with NO PAIN for the first time in years! I cannot say or express my gratitude enough.

Beth is amazing. She takes time to listen to you and explain the details to make you understand the muscle system, root causes and the treatment process. She is very patient, practical, knowledgeable and precise. I had a lot of pain that was going on for a while on my upper left side: in shoulder, back, arm, neck, head, face. She identified it to be a shoulder rotator cuff issue referring pain everywhere and within a couple weeks I made a lot of progress in the pain relief and increased range of motion under Beth’s treatment plan. Now we are working on the strengthening. I had a session with Liz as well and she was great too. Everyone at Impact is very friendly and supportive. The home exercise plan through the app helps to keep you on track. I would highly recommend Impact.

MY physician referred me for physical therapy I have never had physical therapy and was skeptical that it would help. At age 70, I work out every day and did not want to be advised to cut back on my exercise routine. Impact understood my concerns and set me up with exactly the right therapist. My therapist, Brittni, understood my issues immediately and worked with me to add specific exercises to address my issue and helped me improve my exercise routine, not disrupt it. This has been a great experience and I highly recommend Impact Physical Therapy.

I had been having knee pain for several years and was recommended here by my wrist therapist. I worked with Alex and she was very knowledgeable, quickly pinpointed where my issue is. Over the course of 3 months, she guided me through different exercises to help address the underlying issues. Now I can squat or play tennis, and my knee would no longer be in pain for the next few days. Other staff such as Nick are also super friendly and helpful to guide me through the exercises.

The providers and staff at Impact truly put the patients needs first. EVERYONE is focused on the care of the patient. I personally have been a patient at Impact for several years, on and off, due to various injuries. Both providers and staff are knowledgeable, kind, patient, and flexible with their time and attention. I have always received comprehensive care that is well thought out, personal, and easy to follow. I have been to other PT clinics in the Chicago area and Impact is the best!

Brittni is great! Super knowledgeable and thorough. Friendly staff with tons of post therapy recovery options once you’re back to normal activity. Highly recommended!

IMPACT Physical Therapy (South Loop Chicago) is great! The therapists are very knowledgable and kind, and the whole staff is friendly and helpful. When my insurance ran out, they worked with me to switch to 5-packs of shorter visits to help me continue to heal without paying for a full PT appointment out of pocket. My injury (intercostal and back muscular issues due to rowing) is largely healed now, and I think going to IMPACT played a huge role in my quick recovery.

I worked with Kristin of Impact PT to treat a case of plantar fasciitis which had been lingering for more than a month. Kristin was very professional and personable. She explained the physiology of the injury to me and details of the treatment. Although I am not completely healed yet, I am making good progress and feel that the treatment has helped.

Everyone’s really friendly and supportive here! You really feel like they’re on your team and that they want to support your recovery through your successes and speed bumps. It feels more like hanging out with friends who are helping you with your physical therapy. They’re experts in what they do and any wait time is very minimal.

This place has helped me recover from an ankle injury. It’s both motivated me while in the clinic while also equipping me outside of the clinic with exercise recommendations. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for physical therapy in the south loop.

Virginia P.

I have had a couple of running related injuries over the years. When I have gone in, they do a thorough assessment and get straight to work on making me function well quickly. They are professional, creative, results-oriented, and are about solving for the problem(s) at hand. Their staff is trained and supervised well and overall very pleasant. The rates are reasonable. They are always on time in seeing me. Overall, a very good value and I highly recommend Impact.

I’ve seen both Shannon and Kristen at Impact and worked with the other practitioners there during my exercises. It’s an extremely friendly environment and they’re very understanding about what you can and can’t do depending on your injury/pain. They give you different exercises to try so it doesn’t get too repetitive, and the massage/body work portion of the appointment is really nice. I’ve never seen a physical therapist that worked so much on me – helping me stretch, pushing joints into place, etc, than at Impact. Often times I would go and they would maybe massage for 5 minutes before sending me to do exercises. I absolutely recommend Impact!!

nicole B.

15:18 03 Mar 21

Overall, my experience at Impact has been very positive. The therapists, including Shannon, Kristin and Liz, are all knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The assisting staff are also friendly and helpful. The South Loop site feels clean and safe with the Covid precautions they have in place. I would highly recommend their physical therapy services.

Best therapists in town– I have been seeing Liz for about five years for different injuries. I am an endurance athlete and it takes a village to keep doing what I love. I am happy that Liz and Impact Physical Therapy is part of my team.

Gail H.

20:36 12 Jan 21

My family and I have been treated by impact physical therapy for years. All of the therapist are good and attentive especially the therapist we usually see, Liz Yerly. She is knowledgeable and is open and flexible to try multiple treatments to address your needs. I have to travel to be treated by her. But I don’t mind because I have complete confidence in her ability to provide and suggest treatments to address my needs

Jeffrey V.

13:47 12 Jan 21

I have had the opportunity to use Liz and most of the staff during my period of physical therapy and say they are the best. They are warm, friendly, attentive, professional and most of all interested in your needs and your thoughts concerning how the therapy is working for you. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Jessica R.

I love it here! I usually see Shannon, but everyone is very nice and helpful also. Especially Sue! I started therapy for a shoulder injury in late September/early October (can’t remember) and my shoulder pain and movement has gotten better since. I also get a great workout every time I go which I love. If you’re looking to start PT this is the place to be.

Miriam C.

I’ve been coming to PT for all my injuries. They are awesome, always caring for the patients and everyone is so friendly.They are the best!

I have received fantastic care at Impact. I’ve seen Liz for years because she is amazing and always new things for me to try so that my body and I can work better as a team. She’s help me get back in my feet after injuries, maintain a healthy body, and I am confident that I have far fewer injuries because I do what she says. I don’t like going to doctors, but I love going to Impact. They take the time to get to know you and they want to help you meet your fitness goals.

Nikki B.

17:14 03 Oct 20

I highly recommend Impact Physical Therapy. I have been treated for several different issues at Impact, including knee, hip, hamstring and shoulder. Impact is a great PT place for athletes and active people–I am a highly active person in my late 20s, and the Impact South Loop physical therapists have all been supportive in helping me reach my ideal level of physical activity; when I told them I wanted to mitigate my pain enough to be able to run, they continually worked with me to reach that goal and never suggested that I give it up.I have worked predominately with Liz Yearly, who is an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled physical therapist. Liz is proficient in a variety of techniques and draws on these to create an individualized treatment plan. The South Loop physical therapists have a great team dynamic–they will consult with each other on your case to get each others’ opinion and draw on each other’s strengths to create a strong treatment plan for you.All the staff members at Impact South Loop are friendly, personable and professional. Questions about insurance or scheduling are always responded to promptly. The location has a friendly, communal atmosphere that makes physical therapy an enjoyable experience.

Shannon Antwerp is one of the best physical therapists in Chicago. She does amazing work with dry needling. Since starting physical therapy, I’ve experienced relief in my neck/shoulders/right arm all of which have been impacted by various accidents over the years. Thanks to Shannon and the folks at Impact Physical Therapy, I’m doing a lot better!

After helping me through 7 months of PT for a SLAP repair last year, I can’t recommend them highly enough. They are friendly, courteous, compassionate, and jam-packed full of knowledge and expertise.

My son is having a great experience rehabbing from a tennis injury at Impact. I am so thankful for the referral and will definitely recommend them to others. Kristen his therapist is very knowledgeable and engaging. She is THE Best!

Greg R.

21:26 04 Jan 19

Came here seeking treatment for long-term, nagging hamstring pain that had not been fixed by a variety of treatments tried by a previous doc and a previous PT. Kara Mathys re-assessed me, ran me through some great strengthening exercises and localized treatment (dry needling and scraping), and when that didn’t work, kept at it to figure out the problem was in my back, not at the site. She stretched me out to improve back mobility, and I’m finally healed. Thoughtful approach, great attitude, listens well, fun to work with. Thanks, Kara!

23:51 25 Sep 18

I love Impact Physical Therapy. This is my second visit to this facility and both times I have had Shayne as my therapist. Shayne is great – no she is fantastic. I had a total knee replacement in January and I was able to recover quickly because I did presurgery therapy with her. I am now back with a dislocated shoulder and am feeling better with each sessionBe sure to check this place out. They have great equipment and everyone is extremely professional

First time with Impact PT for osteoarthritis pain mostly in my knees. Superb therapist, Eric Niwinski. Eric has an incredible demeanor – he’s what I call “natural friend.” He’s positive, extremely knowledgeable, understands my limitations, makes the sessions hard but also fun. He’s tough but gentle all at the same time. The place is always buzzing – every therapist is working with patients, sometimes more than one at a time, and no one is neglected or left waiting, ever. Tatiana, the receptionist/business ops person is fabulous. She’s smart as a whip, on point and efficient, super friendly, and has a great sense of humor. I really like the open environment. You can see all the other patients doing their exercises and it’s inspiring, really. The entire staff is very customer focused. It’s a welcoming atmosphere where you get to work with super qualified therapists and get better. Love it!

Eric is an amazing physical therapist and a great guy. I felt very comfortable with him from the start. I’ve been going to Impact 3 times a week since June of 2020. I hobbled in to Impact due to a painful heel spur. Although polite, Eric knows how to use constructive criticism, and he’s able to be stern to help me push myself. Eric is very hard working, and he caters to all of his patients. These days, I am feeling so much better, I had almost forgotten how nice it is to be able to walk pain free. My whole core is much stronger and I have lost weight. I was also able to avoid surgery to remove the heel spur, as an alternate method proved extremely helpful. I would very highly recommend Eric and Impact Physical Therapy for any and all physical therapy needs!

Paul Thomas is an exceptionally knowledgeable, experienced, warm, kind, Physical Therapist. Although he is one of the top in the field in Chicago, he is also extraordinarily humble. He makes you feel comfortable right away, and describes his assessment in ways you are able to understand. I have had PT my entire life, in many different countries, and Paul tis the best I have met! The rest of the team that works with Paul is also fantastic! You will be in the best hands if you schedule with Paul or others on his team!

This Iocation is very nice and all the staff are friendly and courteous. I’ve been seeing Paul, intermittently, for various physical therapy treatments for almost 8 years. I trust his expertise more than some doctors and will typically come to him for an evaluation before seeing a doctor. He also introduced me to dry needling and although it’s not always fun to receive as a patient, it works wonders and is worth it. I highly recommend Paul and Impact.

Paul Thomas is a miracle worker. I’ve run several Ultra Marathons (57 miles, 64 miles and 100 miles distances) and he puts me all back together. The guy is a wizard in dry needling.

Paul Thomas is professional, highly educated and most importantly made me feel hopeful that my condition would improve with therapy, while being very realistic about expectations.

I am back to running and jumping and moving and grooving like I wasn’t sure I would be able to! I love her kindness, patience, attentiveness, and client-oriented mindset. I 100% recommend her service services to anyone in need of a professional PT!

I was brought to impact physical therapy after working with traditional physical therapists at Rush. I am an athlete and some of the techniques that are traditionally used are too gentle for somebody with athletic abilities. My therapist it is kind, but she really works the muscles that need to be worked and for the first time I feel like there is a change in my back. If you are looking for a physical therapy experience where you are going to get results, I would recommend coming here. I will probably need one more surgery and I have already decided that I will do my post surgical recovery work at impact. They are the right combination of tough and caring.

Long overdue review. Lauren worked with me for 2 months last fall to help resolve my tennis elbow pain.

Appointments are easy to schedule with desk staff, facilities are clean and well-maintained, and overall they provide a very comfortable environment for PT.

I would give 10 star to this place and the workers here. DPT in charge, Leo, is the most kind, knowledgeable and experienced with musculoskeletal injuries. He knows “ the stuff”.He listens to your concerns and will walk you thru the anatomy of the area that requires therapy/tune up. He will explain the “what” and “why”of the problem and will deliver appropriate treatment for the entire session.The therapists who help him are wonderful and responsive.. and the front desk personnel is polite and reassuring. They will try very hard to accommodate your appointment needs . This is a great team work experience which benefits the patient. Hat off!

He made father felt heard and understood. He also helped him understand what his body was doing because of his injury. Leo was also checking in with the staff and their patients making sure they were on the right page and were being taken care. He did this while still giving my father attention to his care. Leo is a great leader and you see that with his great team. I highly recommend them!

Right in my backyard, there is a physical therapy center, which has provided me with respite from chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis, as well as seasonal injuries, like “falling on both knees”. I only need to drive a few blocks, to receive help. Having RA does not end; RA needs frequent sessions of care, whether weeks or months. This is the place that provides support and care in tolerating a chronic illness. I’m grateful for the long-term care provided by Impact Therapy, given by Leo, Rachel, Magda, and Trish.

So the conclusion is I would recommend Impact Therapy to anyone who want to feel better and release the pain.

Very clean and updated offices. Staff very friendly. I recommend to anyone that is in need of physical therapy. He has helped me greatly with my 30 year old back injury. Excellent and exceptional.

If you’re injured or in any kind of pain this is the ONLY place to go! I had several car accidents and I saw several doctors, pain specialists and physical therapists. However, none of them helped me even half as much as Leo and his team did. Leo was the only one able to cure my pain and make my body work properly again. Additionally, he is very nice and super easy to talk to and work with. He is an extremely knowledge and gifted therapist who’s a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this business even if you need to travel far for it. You’ll get the best service and treatment here.

Leo is a wonderful therapist! He makes sure you know what he’s doing, and explains what the therapy will help. He also demonstrates exercises to do at home, and makes sure you are doing them correctly before you leave! Leo is very professional and knowledgeableI couldn’t have made a better choice.

I have had issues with my back for almost a year now. I tried a chiropractor and an acupuncturist, but the pain remained.In just a few visits, I started having days when I felt no pain. Those kinds of days are increasing** in frequency. In addition to the individual consultation, I was provided exercises that, after making sure I was doing them correctly, I was able to do at home. These have also greatly helped with my issues.I give high marks for Impact on their dedication and commitment to removing my pain and providing me the tools to prevent a recurrence going forward.

After experiencing knee pain, I was referred to Impact Physical Therapy -Hinsdale by my Orthopedic surgeon. From the moment I began working with my therapist, Chris Harter, I knew I was working with an experienced clinician. Chris was able to identify that the misalignment in my back was contributing to my knee pain. He provided a specific plan that would both strengthen my knee and align my back. I was impressed with the professionalism and caring provided by Chris and the staff at Impact Physical Therapy. I’ve currently completed my therapy and continue with my exercises. I would highly recommend Impact Physical Therapy.

Kamila and her staff are exceptional professionals. I first went to her when suffering symptoms of vertigo. She was able to disperse the symptoms in 2 visits. I returned to her recently after ankle and foot surgery. She has supreme knowledge of the body and what exercises it will respond to. Everyone at Impact is completely invested in the healing of their patients. Great people.

Impact Physical Therapy is a phenomenal world class physical therapy resource for the Western Suburbs. The Hinsdale location is very convenient, immaculate, spacious and atypical for a Physical Therapy office. Tim Rylander is the best at what he does (I get the sense he knows as much or more than some of the doctors out there).. I strongly recommend Impact for any physical Therapy needs.

I have been going to Impact since 2019. They have great staff, great communication, comfortable atmosphere, and knowledgeable. For my mild injuries, I go for tune-ups and I am usually better in a couple of days. For larger injuries, I had a herniated disc where I had weakness in my left arm. After going consistently to Bill, my strength in my left arm is back, and no pain. I am so glad I didn’t have to go any further to get any kind of procedures done. They have great communications and recommendations for doctors. You will not be disappointed!

Kamila, Tim, Jimmy, Peggy & Dom are all fabulous. Jimmy went over all of the insurance information and made sure I understood what the process was.

Dom and Peggy are always there to help with stretches and exercises.The equipment is continuously being wiped down and the facility is very well maintained.

I had several knee procedures, including a spacer and a TKR. The scar tissue buildup was significant. I chose Impact because of a prior very positive experience with Kamila. I worked primarily with Chris and was very impressed with his knowledge and work ethic. He has a great understanding of when and how to push you further to meet your goals. He and Kamila worked with me to progress far enough that I wouldn’t need a probable manipulation, eventually getting the ROM to 120 degrees, which seemed out of reach at the outset.I was also very impressed with the positive atmosphere and the camaraderie of the entire staff. The therapists and their support team work well together. I would recommend the Hinsdale location to anyone who is looking for a professional environment and a high quality team to help you reach your rehabilitation goals.

I have never really done PT before, but Chris made my experience awesome my first time. He made each session fun and personable. I went in there after having weeks and weeks of neck and back pain. Chris was able to pin point the problem and after my first session, I was doing 75% better. After my 3rd session I was problem free. Thank you Chris and Impact Physical Therapy. Also I went here during covid season, the facility is clean and faculty is very diligent about cleaning and wiping everything after every session. I felt safe and comfortable going here. It was not crowded and tons of distance between folks.

I came to Impact Physical Therapy in Hinsdale after working with a few other local physical therapists who not only didn’t help but made me re-injure myself by giving me bad advice and advising me to do exercises that are harmful for your back. I felt helpless. The other “physical therapists” pushed injections and pain medications from the beginning instead of taking the time to actually evaluate me and help me build up my strength to heal and prevent re-injury. Chris is very knowledgeable and extremely caring and calm. I cannot emphasize how important that demeanor is when you are in excruciating pain and desperate for help. Some people gave me life altering diagnoses saying I would be in pain forever and that I would never heal. Chris quickly dismissed this and gave me the confidence I needed to believe I could heal. After a few months I am back to myself again. I have the tools I need to continue to strengthen my body. I truly hope I never have to see Chris again but if I do I know where to find him.

I was referred by Dr. Ali, my neurologist to have physical therapy to improve my motor skills as I was diagnosed with early onset of PD. In addition, my orthopedic doctor, Dr. Ivy suggested for me to have phyiscal therapy as well. I was a little skeptical to do it since I have been going for PT for 3 years and did not make any difference in my movement. However this time, Dr. Ali said try IMPACT down the street, it’s private. They check coverage of your insurance. I made my appointment and presesented the referral of neuro and ortho doctors. I was assigned to Chris, my therapist. Chris interviewed me during the first meeting to assess my condition and went over treatment plan and activities. I told myself “this is different from my previous PT sessions at DuPage Medical Group.” The sessions were pretty much structured; warm up, activities using different equipment and stretching. My warm up turned out to be as important as the actual activity to address the tightness of my joints. Chris is cognizant of my safety as I work on the equipment. The facility is busy. Patients range from school age children, high schoolers and adults. The staff are warm and pleasant. Each has a patient to attend to. Equipments are sanitized after use. Over time, I have seen big improvement in my movement, balance and coordination. I have since talked about IMPACT with my friends who at some point in their life have had to go for physical therapy. I pray that my insurance benefits continue to cover PT with IMPACT. Going to IMPACT became a routine for me to get well. Thank you Chris and IMPACT.

I’ve been to impact for rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders back to back followed by current separated shoulder injury. They have a very well run clean physical therapy business. All the therapists are great and they have great interns helping with all of the exercises. I’ve only seen Tim and Kamilla who I like a lot but other therapists seem great because I’ve watched them work on other patients and it seems to me that they work hard. Anyway, it’s a great place

I have been going to Impact Physical Therapy on and off for over 2 years. As a triathlete, I appreciate that I have been able to schedule an appointment quickly with Tim or Jimmy. They have been able to evaluate and treat my injuries before they progressed and therefore, I haven’t had to miss much training. Both have incredible knowledge. They work out the problem (using Graston techniques, etc.) and provide me with exercises to do at home. My daughters have also benefited from Impact’s services, as well as many friends I have referred. I can’t say enough about their professionalism and determination to help heal all injuries.

I have been suffering with herniated disc for 30 years. I was trying to solve my problem with lots of specialist over 30 years. (orthopedists, chiropractors, physiotherapist). Nobody was able to help me. I found out what was wrong with my body 9 weeks ago for the first time. The attack 9 weeks ago was very painful. I felt like something wanted to tear my leg’s muscles. I couldn’t hold urine. I couldn’t dress up and take off cloths by myself. I was going through the hell on the earth. Years of asking for help without an answer made me distrustful. I wanted to go to see somebody but somebody who knows what to do. I decided I will go from physiotherapist to physiotherapist until I find the right one. I was ready to fly to California where my trainer lives, who is a physiotherapist as well.Impact in Hinsdale was the first one I asked for help. I came to office in good condition, but at the point I couldn’t help myself anymore. I couldn’t stretch muscles anymore by myself. I needed manual therapy. I received exactly what I needed. Chris H. saved my life. I hope I will never need him anymore. But if so, I will find him again.

There are not enough stars to rate my experience at Impact Physical Therapy in Hinsdale! The environment and atmosphere at Impact are so welcoming and comfortable as soon as you walk through the door! I was always treated with kindness and compassion by everyone in the office – even the therapists who were not directly working with me. My physical therapist, Dr. Tim Rylander, is a top expert in the field of concussion recovery and I was so fortunate to be able to work with him! HIs expertise, professionalism and genuine care for me as a patient were evident from very early in my treatment plan. His sessions were well planned out and challenged me in the needed areas. He worked with me and believed I would reach my goal of returning to the career I loved when many others thought it wasn’t possible! He was always so positive and encouraging! I know I would not be where I am today without him! Impact Physical Therapy in Hinsdale is truly a special place!

This is my second experience with physical therapy. My first experience was at one of the major physical therapy groups in the Chicago land area. I was recommended to a specific therapist Tim Rylander whom helped me successfully recover from a couple of sports injuries and I would highly recommend him. After struggling with my current injury, my trainer recommended that I meet with mpact Physical therapy due to his success with them. I had rememered Tim but I decided to give them a shot because they happened to be more conveniently located. When I walked in for my first appointment, I recognized Tim and can’t tell you how releved and happy I was to see him especially because he is the mansgima partner. Although my initial consultation was not with Tim but with another therapist, Chris Harter. I can’t tell you what a great experience I am having with Chris, the facility and the staff. Chris is a graduate of northwestern and embodies the sensitivity and touch anyone would want while recovering from any injury. The space is modern and inviting with tons of glass and the support staff are super friendly and helpful. It does not feel like a typical “medical” environment. Their unique recovery room offers some of the latest innovations for athletes and anyone looking for assisting with injury or sore muscle recovery. I would highly recommend both Tim and Chris and really any of the therapist at this facility.

Their knowledge, professionalism, patient focus, communication skills, state of the art equipment and realistic goals far surpassed any other physical therapy company that I’ve used since my first surgery 15 years ago. I strongly recommend Impact Physical Therapy.

Hello everyone, I do pray these words can give you some comfort soon. I became a patient with Impact Physical Therapy because of Vertigo. I feel for anyone who has had to deal with Vertigo or even motion sickness. I had the opportunity to work with one of the Impact associates by the name of Nicole. This girl knows her skills and knows how to treat Vertigo. I had to see Nicole twice a week for a month because my positional Vertigo being an A typical rare case. You see my Vertigo began in March and continued for 3 months. I am so Grateful for Nicole and the whole Impact staff. I had a difficult start and all the staff was so accommodating to my needs and schedule. The staff has everything set up and are able to accommodate all different types of therapy that I didn’t know existed. The place has enough room to allow people to do what is needed to improve their quality of life in a very clean and healthy environment!!!Good Luck to you all I hope and pray you have the Best experience as I did.

I am delighted to say that several months after completing my PT, I am back running and looking forward to my first post-pandemic / post injury race – the 2022 Ridge Run!

I came to Impact right as the stay at home order in IL went into effect because I’d had shoulder pain for a year and a half. I met Nikki, who worked with me for 9 weeks to build my strength, stretch my muscles, and really get my rotator cuff issues in check. Mark worked tirelessly, cleaning off every weight, strap, every piece of equipment that I or other patients touched. I made great progress, and Impact and its employees are the reason why.I did not know that patients can go to Impact without a prescription from an MD! When I learned this, I encouraged my husband and son to go in and get evaluated, one for elbow pain and one for neck pain. They have just begun their visits with Nikki.If you have pain, don’t wait! Go for an evaluation and start building toward a pain free life. These folks know what they’re doing!

I had one other experience in physical therapy years ago, and I came away a skeptic. This summer I tore my pectoral muscle both in the muscle and from the bone. I needed surgery. I was also aware I would have to give physical therapy another shot. It is night and day from my last experience to this one. It’s still early in the process, but my therapist Courtney is great at her job. I don’t ever leave reviews, but I felt an obligation. Yes, she gets paid, but I get the sense that it’s more than that to her. Anyway, yeah all positive.

Very clean facility , Very friendly. I like the way they track your progress and work personally to help you get better. I would recommend Impact because they work one on one with your physical therapy and at the end of the week you can notice results.

The therapists bring tons of energy to their work, which is actually a fun place to spend time. More importantly, the therapists know their stuff. I have been working largely with Daniel, whose knowledge is impressive. He also has a knack for providing encouragement, in his quiet way. Someone who would be a great friend!I strongly recommend Impact as the place to go for high-quality therapy.Jim Kuklinski

This is my first experience with physical therapy. Impact was one of two places my primary could give me a referral to. I chose Impact because scraping and dry needling are services they offer. I wanted the most options possible because my pain can be severe. From day one I have always by greeted by name, listened to, guided, and encouraged. I’m about half way through my allotted visits and am not healed yet but definitely improving. The staff is friendly, professional and they keep your activities going without making you wait around. Keeping your pace and comfort level is a priority of the staff at Impact!

Went there a couple years ago after fracturing my foot. Tony & the others are great. So after a rotator cuff surgery on October 14th. When they asked where I wanted to do therapy I said Impact. They are great about 1.5 weeks in & really getting things moving. Having more mobility is great still have a long road to go but very happy with the progress so far. Thanks for all you do

The group at Impact Physical Therapy go above and beyond. They are detailed and listen to what you are saying which is very important to me. They take the time to evaluate your issue and work along with you to ensure you are progressing. My therapist is Tony and he is awesome! Very friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend them to everyone.

The STAFF is amazing. They are very empathetic, caring, thoughtful and professional. If you have a question regarding your treatment plan your therapist will talk with you and explain in terms you will understand. Their schedule is very accommodating to work with you. Tony was my therapist who helped me in so many ways with the exercises and what will work and approximately how long roughly recovery will be and my best options.If you require Physical Therapy this is the place for you. They definitely are an A+ quality.

WOW!! This is no place for people who want to just go through the motions! Gretchen, Jordan, Tony, Kaylee, and the rest of the staff are AWESOME! Each appointment is focused…on treatment, improvement, and achieving the necessary goals. They also have fun while they’re doing it! HIGHLY recommend them and if you’re tired of people just doing template work on you instead of actually treating your individual body, get on their schedule!

Excellent experience. Highly recommended. The approach at Impact considers each clients specific issues to generate a plan. Their website features videos of all the recommended stretches to do at home and those are all included in the profile you create. It was all very easy and personalized.

Everyone at Impact Physical Therapy if very professional, knowledgeable and patient with their clients. I have been going to Gretchen for at least 10 years. I couldn’t ask for anything more from a therapist. She has helped me before and after 2 back surgeries, along with other physical problems. She is amazing!

My daughter really liked the program and care the staff gave her for a bad knee injury and then surgery recovery. That prompted me to see what they could do for neck trigger point clusters hoping that relief from those would take down a nasty tinnitus. They’ve given me significant relief and we’re now going for full relief. Love them all for their expertise, care, and thoughtful kindness.

I am happy and pleased to recommend Impact Physical Therapy services to friends and family. Thank you for the outstanding service – Judy Lubben

Gretchen is my PT therapist at Impact Physical Therapy is well educated and does a thorough evaluation to see what works best for your situation. She takes you step-by-step showing exactly what to do and how to do it. It is well worth the effort to make a phone call and get on the road to a better life.

Everyone at Impact is so incredibly knowledgeable and uplifting! They bring a combination of expertise, motivation and compassion to every appointment. I gained more self-awareness and knowledge about the mechanics of my core, back and hips. That helped tremendously when working on my therapy at home outside of regular appointments. I believe all of this contributed greatly to my recovery from my C-section and old injuries from a car accident. Thank you to Gretchen and everyone at Impact!!!

I’ve been a patient at Impact off and on since 2017. The team there is great! Recently I needed PT for some rehab post cancer treatment. As my immune system was compromised, I needed a private room. They were very accommodating and the room was usually always ready for me to go in without waiting in the lobby. I would recommend this clinic for PT, you will get results!

Tony is an excellent therapist…..kind, knowledgeable, and motivated to do the best for his client and help the client work toward the best outcome. If needing PT again, I would definitely return to Impact and request Tony for my therapist.

Spent over 5 months with Tony Testin and the Champaign Team rehabbing my repaired rotator cuff. Hands on therapy and supervised exercises gave me the confidence and guidance with my home therapy program. In between sessions, Tony was available to answer questions. The facility is large enough to socially distance between clients and personnel. Parking and a bus stop are conveniently located a few steps from the door. I recommend Impact Therapy if you want to get back to participating in your favorite sports and fitness activities.

They are an amazing team I have used them for my back, my hip, my shoulder and my hands. Gretchen and Danny and the rest of her team have been amazing and have always helped me achieve my goals of recovery. I have been elsewhere prior to Impact and had little to no results with only 15 minutes of PT. At Impact it is a full hour plus because Gretchen and her team truly care about my recovery.

I am 71 years old and had pain in my leg at night and also was not able to stand up completely straight. Gretchen figured out what was causing the problems AND what to do to fix them. The therapies and exercises have helped so much! I have no more pain in my leg and I am able to stand straight. If an exercise didn’t work well for me, she came up with other ones until she found one that I could do. She, the other therapists, and the receptionist are excellent, thorough, creative, caring professionals. I highly recommend Impact Physical Therapy.

Impact is a wonderful place to do physical therapy. The therapists are knowledgeable and friendly. Gretchen is very knowledgeable and helpful in coming up with ideas to make an exercise conducive to the stage of recovery. She’s been available by email or text, in between sessions, if I have questions or concerns about exercises I can do at home. It’s a clean, upbeat environment. I definitely recommend Impact for any physical therapy needs.

I have suffered with back pain since 2015. I have had every available treatment plus surgery without success. After two treatments with Lynne, I have begun to notice some relief. Lynne is knowledgeable, professional and compassionate. As a doctor in her profession she made it known from the first session that her goal is to make me pain free. I am lucky to be under her care. i am so happy I found Impact Therapy.

I highly recommend Bob Griffin at Impact Physical Therapy in Orland Park. Bob is very knowledgeable and provides excellent treatment plans. I have found that as I get older, muscle spasms had been happening more frequently. I contacted Bob and felt relief starting with my first visit. He was able to pinpoint the cause of these spasms and with his exercises and physical therapy, I was able to recover quickly.I then asked Bob to help me regain my mobility with walking. I am 62 years old and for the past 15 years, I was not able to walk more than 30 feet outside without excruciating pain in the outer thighs of both legs. With Bob’s physical therapy treatment, I am now pain free and excited that I am now walking over 4 miles a day! I want to convey how truly remarkable Bob is as a physical therapist. Thank you Bob!!!

Impact is one of the best PT out there!! They go above and beyond for clients, especially with kids/teens, when sports are life and they need to get back on that field or court! Tammy and Bob are the best! The goal Is to heal and that is exactly what they help you do!! I highly recommend.

After months of back pain, steroids, doctors and chiropractors my orthopedic doctor sent me to Impact to see if physical therapy would help me.Bob quickly diagnosed my problem and gave me the tools needed to work on my back issues. His help took me from barely being able to move or bend to being able to work, do yoga and play with my kids again. In short he gave me my life back.Everyone at Impact is welcoming, thoughtful, and genuinely concerned about each other and everyone who needs help living their lives to the fullest. Thank you so much to everyone at Impact.

I was referred to Lynne Lesniak at Impact in Orland Park for a shoulder injury I sustained as a result of exercising. I was in an intense amount of pain at the outset, and she appropriately set goals for me from our initial meeting. As our meetings progressed, my strength and pain started resolving. She was committed to my recovery and never made me question our plan. She was extremely knowledgeable and entertained my MANY questions I had at each meeting and showcased extreme patience in that regard. Upon reaching a point that we both felt comfortable (she asked for my input which I highly appreciated) for me to be discharged, she provided me with a routine to continue at home which is sustainable and manageable. I highly recommend Impact in general and Lynne specifically! All the individuals, including the tech Chris (he was great!), I encountered while there were caring and kind. Please continue to keep up this good work.

This place is awesome. It’s such an outstanding facility as it’s very clean and spacious. My son age 12 had a major elbow injury in football and we were so lucky to find this place.I was connected initially to Tammy and she was outstanding. We discussed a plan and based on the injury suggested one of her colleagues that fit my sons needs.He was matched up with Bob and is making incredible progress. What a wonderful fit as Bob truly cares about his patients. He takes his time and works very hard to get you back on track. His attention to detail is incredible. His expertise and TLC were exactly what we were looking for.I almost forgot to mention Lisa at the front desk. She got us rolling working with our health insurance company. You won’t find a nicer person that’s so organized and has great follow up skills.I don’t write a lot of reviews, but I really want to spread the word about this place. If you are in need of a rehab and physical therapy this is definitely the place to go.

Just like finding the right Doctor, finding the right Physical Therapist (PT) can make all the difference.For the past 10 years, I have had extreme, recurring back pain. Finally I found a PT that knew what he was doing. He took the time to “EXPLAIN” what was causing my problems, evaluated them, and helped me work through the problems — exercises that helped reduce and eliminated the pain in my muscles, and they WORKED!He explained what was happening if the pain was coming back, where it was coming from and how to release the tension causing the pain.Bob Griffin is fantastic. He is a very knowledgeable PT, professional, and cares about helping people. He listens to you, takes the time needed to evaluate and comes up with a plan to fix it.He is the best PT I have ever work with (and over the past 10 years I have worked with a few)I would highly recommend Bob Griffin. If I could give him more than the 5 stars in this review, I would.
